Every day we go for walks and my favorite place is up north in the woods. There is so much stuff to smell and chase, I always find things to roll in and/or eat. Mom likes it, it's ok and she doesn't have to watch out for cops like in the city. Mary Lou and Charlie go with us lots of times too. I learn lots from Mary Lou, she taught me how to catch things. When I was in my own back yard in the city I caught this big whopping gray squirrel that had been teasing us for a long time. The neighbors were happier than my mom and dad because those rodents kept getting in their attic. They wanted to give me a prize. Dad threw it away before mom could get a picture of my greatest catch yet. Sometimes I get so hot from running and chasing stuff that I have to cool off in mud puddles or, in the picture, Poppel Lake. Quincy, Togo and I get to go home and take naps afterwards but not until mom rinses us off in the lake. My first boat ride was on the 4th of July and I was scared! Then one night I got to ride on a pontoon boat, that was better. Today my mom made me go in Charlie's boat, it was windy and whitecapping, the waves rocked the boat. At first I was scared, after a while it smelled so good, I got up to lean out over the edge, mom freaked and made me sit down. The waves crashed over the gunnels and splashed me in the face. It was kind of cool! Later we went down to the corner, Deer Lake Charlie's. There is this old building out back, used to be the old original bar. I checked it out, there is lots of stuff living underneath and hiding out inside. Maybe some day I will catch something in there if it doesn't fall down first. Quincy found this bowl, carried it out and dropped it at mom's feet to let her know that we were real thirsty. Mary Lou hangs out there too as her mom is one of the owners. Then I came home, found a few dead fish to roll in , got another bath and now I'm pooped. It's a dog's life!
